WORKSHOPS AND CLASSES 2024
APR 17th - Spring Flowers - perspective of a flower - interpretation rather than detail - how to limit your palette when using many colors.
How color effects us emotionally? What are your color choices? How does that effect your painting?
MAY 22nd - Create a flower garden with pattern shapes rather than coping from photographs. Attacking greens - how to make a warm and cool green - what darks do for a painting.
How do we find creativity? How addicted to photographs are you? Do you think this is true - you cannot use up creativity? The more you use, the more you have.
JUNE 19th - Landscape Patterns - paint on location (weather permitting), we will paint from photographs if inside. Limit shapes to 5 major shapes - how darks can move you through a painting visually. How important are edges? Drawing trees.
Why landscape can seem overwhelming.
How to group shapes to simplify.
JULY 24th- Painting water on location (weather permitting), we will paint from photographs if inside. Take some photos of spots you like on the river, maybe even ripples in a lake?
Fear of movement and painting it.
How to overcome this fear.
AUG 21st - Painting without a brush. We will use animals or birds for the subject.
How does it feel to play with paint?
SEPT 18th - Painting fall colors and drawing aspen trees - EDGES, paint one painting with soft edges and one with hard edges.
Why do we want to define edges?
What do you want to say with the edges you use?
OCT 16th - Take one scene from landscape or a structure you like. Paint it in three different styles of painting - realistic, impressionistic, and abstract. Create a triptych, maybe your house or a familiar spot in your yard you love. Take some photos as the yer progresses. Start by using two values and expanding to three values.
Why does color confuse value?
NOV 20th - Bring any thought you use for composition to share. We will start with a colored background called a mingling, using 2 cool colors and one warm color, and one with 2 warm colors and one cool. I will bring some organic shapes to develop with composition. Tree branches, dried flowers, and dried weeds. Keep your eyes open and bring your own if you wish.
What is creativity?
DEC 4th - Christmas food is subject to painting.
"All the arts, indeed, acknowledge a debt to an unidentifiable, invisible, capricious, sensitive, delicate, elusive, and powerful force which is called "inspiration" or "muse" and is generally irresistible when you present."
